Application filed August 11, 1915. Serial-No. 44,966.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL PETERSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Iron River, in the county of Iron and State of Michigan,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain and Shade.Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to a combined curtain rod and shade holder, andmore particularly to the class of quickly detachable and adjustablecurtain rod and shade holders.

The primary object et the invention is the provision of a dov .of thischaracter, wherein the use of screws or nails for the fastening of thesame to a window frame are dispensed with, as the said device can beconveniently and i' uickly attached in proper position upon thewindow'frame, to support a curtain rod or shade roller.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a device of thischaracter,- wherein it may be mounted on various sizes of window frames,for supporting a curtain rod or'rods and a shade roller.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a device of thischaracter, wherein the same maybe readily and easily attached to orremoved from the window frame with despatch, without in the leastmarring or damaging the latter.

. A still further object of the invention is the provision of a deviceofthis character,

which is extremely simple in construction, thoroughly reliable andefiicient in operation, strong, durable and inexpensive in manufacture.

WVith these and other objects in view the invention consists in thefeaturesof construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

Tn the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a horizontal transverse sectional view through a portion ofthe device.

Fig. 2 is apcrspective View of one of the. (-lamps for the mounting ofthe devlce on the window frame.

Fig. 3 is afragmcntary .plan view of a,

slight modification of the invention.

Similar refcrencecharacters indicate corresponding parts throughout theSeveral views in the drawings.

Referring to the drawings in detail,'A designates a portion of a windowframe, which is of the ordinary well known construction, having mountedthereon the combined curtain rod and shade holder hereinafter fullydescribed. l I

Patented my? 22, 191% The combined curtain rod and shade -holde rcomprises a pair of window frame clamping members, each including anelongated base plate or section 10, and an adjustable slide section 11,both being formed at their outer ends with right angular jaw terminals12, provided with inwardlybent spurs or teeth 13, which are adapted tobite into the wood work of the window frameA,

at thesides thereof, so that the jaw terminals 12, will firmly grip thesamefor the fastening of the clamping-members thereon. The base plate orsection 10, is preferably cut away longitudinally thereof for a portionof its length and at the center of the same to assure lightness thereto,while out into the side edges of the slot at spacedintervals areoutwardly bent guide tongues 14, for receiving the slide section 11, toguide the same in its adjustment.

Formed on the base plate or section. 10,

are outwardly extending spaced ears 15, and

iikewise *formed on the inner end of the slide section 11, is anoutwardly extending car 16, and swiveled in the'said cars 15, is anadjusting screw 17. which is threaded in the car 16, so that the slidesection 11, can be readily moved for attaching or detaching of theclamping member.

, On the inner iaw terminal 12, upon each base plate or section 10, isformed a shade bracket extension or bearing 18, which is of the ordinarywell known construction, so that both extensions or bearings cooperatefor supporting a shade roller, within the window frame, as shown.

Formed on and rising from the upper edge of each base plate orsection10, is a vertical arm 19, having therein near its free end diagonallydisposed -spaced substantially V-shaped slots or openings 20, while outfrom the said arm and working in the latter are resilient lips 21, fordetachably locklng in, the said slots 0r openings the peripherallygrooved ends 22, of substantially U- shaped curtain rods 23, tofastenthe same on the clamping members.

Tn Fig. 3, of the drawings, there is shown a slight modification ofclamping member, which is designed especially for double window frames.and comprises the base plate or section 24, and the slide section 25.having the jaw terminals 26, formed with shade bracket extensions orbearings 27, on

, 5 both of the latter.

From the foregoing it is thought that theconstruction and manner of useof the invention will be clearly understood, and therefore a moreextended explanation has 10 been omitted.

extending outwardly at the opposite ends of said guideway, and providedwith a rearwardly extending clamping jaw having an extension to supporta shade roller, a slide plate mounted in said guideway having one endbent into a clamping jaw and the other end bent laterally to provide anear formed with a threaded opening therein, and a screw rod swiveled'inthe ears of said base i plate and engaging the threaded opening of theear of the slide plate. I t

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
